Answer options:
A.
Standard Storage for the first 30 days
B.
Archive Storage for the first 30 days
C.
Nearline Storage for data older than 1 year
D.
Archive Storage for data older than 1 year
E.
Persistent Disk Standard for all data
How to approach this question
Match the access frequency to the corresponding storage class.
Full Answer
Standard Storage, Archive Storage
Standard storage is designed for frequently accessed data (the first 30 days). Archive storage offers the lowest storage cost and is designed for data accessed less than once a year (data older than 1 year). A lifecycle policy would transition Standard -> Nearline/Coldline -> Archive.
Common mistakes
Choosing Nearline for the 5-year retention (C), missing out on the deeper cost savings of Archive.
